Seems like yesterday...my family and friends showered ME with gifts and well wishes for our first baby. Jo Granberry hosted the party in her home. Mama made the dress I wore...poly/blend floral...tan with little flowers...short cuffed sleeves and decorative buttons on the front. Nell and Dot weren't called Granny and Grandma Dot then...but soon...
Yesterday...Sept. 4, 2010, yesterday...Karen hosted a shower for family and friends for Amy. I didn't make her dress, but she looked just beautiful! Granny came. And I think I saw Mama flitting by...on the hummingbird feeder. The most beautiful butterfly kept coming to the feeder right in the dining room window where we all came for food...yep, I'm pretty sure that was Grandma Dot. She was feeding right along with us.
We missed our family who were away...on the road...ill...and in heaven. But we had the most wonderful afternoon. Every gift had a WOW factor! From lotsa diapers...WOW! To hot pink "silkies" to memory books to Madonna onesies...I could go on and on...Ugg boots...coupons...pink and quilts..and flowers and shoes and bracelets and bonnets and bows and tooooo much to tell.
Each giftbearer was so thoughtful and gracious. Each were asked to write a note to Dottie and Ada...can't wait to read those!
Yeah, I remember...Amy...first...toes and bibs and booties...I remember...
